As we recognize Black History Month, we honor the incredible contributions of African Americans who have shaped our nation's history. One such hero is Harriet Tubman, who bravely led hundreds of enslaved people to freedom through the Underground Railroad. Tubman’s courage, resilience, and dedication to justice make her a symbol of strength and determination in the fight for freedom. Throughout this month, take time to learn about other monumental figures like her—voices that have made a lasting impact on American history and continue to inspire us today.

Introducing Thrive Thursday! Every Thursday, we’re shining a spotlight on the incredible individuals who make our LCPS team thrive! This week, we’re kicking off Thrive Thursday with a spotlight on staff members -Sean Barham, Matt Dawkins and Carrie Hale—who over the weekend played a critical role in a successful search and rescue mission to locate a pair of hikers lost in the Organ Mountains during dangerous cold temperatures. In addition to their roles with the district, these individuals volunteer their time as part of a local search and rescue team, demonstrating their commitment to making our schools and our community a place where all learners thrive. Their efforts remind us that the spirit of teamwork thrives not only in our schools but also in every corner of our community.
